I have an appointment with my pdoc tomorrow (12/7/15). I'm no longer on any medications & I have no plans to go back on anything. They don't do much good & I can't afford them. I don't see a therapist either. I've continued to see my pdoc every 3 or 4 months simply because he is my last remaining link to the mental health services system where I live. And, having made 2 serious spur-of-the-moment suicide attempts, I felt like perhaps I should at least keep one foot in the door, so to speak. Also, I know that, while I'm doing reasonably well now, my solitary lifestyle is probably tenuous. It wouldn't necessarily take allot to knock me off balance.

But now, I think I've come to the conclusion that it just doesn't really make sense to keep going back. I only see him for about 10 or 15 minutes. And about all he does is to suggest different med's I could try for various concerns I bring up. However, since I have no plans to take anything further, it seems like kind-of a waste of time (both his & mine) as well as of the gas I expend to get to his office. I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow...
